It’s nothing new. We see it on TV, we hear it on the news and encounter it everyday as we go on about our business. Women are taking over the workforce and pretty soon, if you ask me, the world–which I totally don’t mind at all, it’s about time.

But even though powerful beings, such as yourselves, are proving to be a force to be reckoned with–you know you are, just admit it–many of you still need a little help in the fashion department (sad, but true).

Spring is oh such a lovely season to dress nice, comfortable and, why not, even sexy. However, there is a line that can easily get crossed, the one between sexy and slutty. Now depending on which side you’d like to get classified on, and depending on your line of work there are dresses which you can get that will last you throughout this spring season, without breaking your cochinita or making you look like you work at the esquina.

Here I present
to you my
recommendations:

-Pocket Tie-Waist Shirtdress: A dress like this will give your look an effortless feel and will keep you cool on those hot spring days. The long sleeves will accentuate the formality of the dress and the belt will accentuate your figure. Choose a length above your knees to show off your sexy gams.

-Fitted V-Neck Satin dress: Whenever you buy anything that is fitted, you better be prepared to show your best assets. Fitted is just that, it fits like a glove. A V-neck satin dress is sexy and cool and, if you know how to wear it, will accentuate all your bits. But be careful with wearing something that is a little too tight or you might just show a little more.

-Belted Satin Shirtdress: Covered up! Why not? Satin is a cool fabric that breathes, and so makes wearing a regular collar so much more comfortable. The belted waist shows off your waist and the asymmetrical hemline adds that “you fancy” feel.

-Semi-Sheer Georgette Dress: This dress is fun, comfortable and sensual, huggin’ you in all the right places. A Peter Pan collar gives a playful feel to your look and its lightweight makes it perfect for a long day at work.

-Cap-sleeve Drawstring Dress: Sexy side pockets and a round neckline can be a fun option for an office dress. An elasticized waist makes it the perfect option for just about every size. Choose a bright color for a little more fun.

Where to get these looks? Most stores carry these styles of dresses ranging from $60 to $25 depending on material and brand. Forever 21 has some of the best styles at affordable prices as well as GAP and H&M.
